March Book Discussion

March Book Discussion: What Happened to You?

Please join Carolyn Cook for an in-person discussion at the library about Oprah Winfrey and Bruce D. Perry's book, "What Happened to You?" on Thursday, March 9, from 5:00-6:30pm.

 

"Oprah Winfrey and renowned brain development and trauma expert, Dr Bruce Perry, discuss the impact of trauma and adverse experiences and how healing must begin with a shift to asking "What happened to you?" rather than "What’s wrong with you?" Grounded in the latest brain science and brought to life through compelling narratives, this book shines a light on a much-needed path to recovery – showing us our incredible capacity to transform after adversity."
